Points of order 13 on elliptic curves

Number Theory 2016-10-18 v3

Abstract

We pick up the study of 13-torsion in elliptic curves where Mazur and Tate left off 45 years ago. We consider various questions concerning elliptic curves defined over the maximal totally real subfield of the 13th cyclotomic field (where J_1(13) acquires everywhere good reduction), and over quadratic extensions.
